As you probably know, it would also depend on your current placement: if the pads have to be placed high, then vintage cantis might not work. It’s o to a 4mm difference, but that can agree make all the difference. I’ve had to file out the bottom of the brake pad slot of sidepulls to make a 27”-to-700c conversion work.
